Sybil is frustrated by the lack of detail in her latest visions which show women being gathered by a demon for a blood sacrifice ritual. She knows that she needs to find out where this is taking place to stop it, she knows that Vago needs to find the Holy Rock, and she needs to work out what the new and scary dreams she is having mean. Her frustration doubles when Vago, Eli and Marlo all sign up for college. Marlo and Eli have taken on so many classes that they are having to leave most of the research to Sybil. Vago on the other hand has become obsessed with Brooke, the beautiful assistant to his rock star professor, and Sybil doesn't trust her at all.
The stakes are raised when Sybil, who is hanging around the campus reading Esther's books, starts to hear about missing girls on campus and suspects that they have been taken for the blood ritual. She is sure that Professor Whitmore is bewitching the women that he comes into contact with on behalf of the demon but any attempts to get into his class or office to snoop around seems doomed to failure with his security detail keeping people away. There are also evil dogs following Sybil and her friends who seem to be working for the demon and trying to stop Sybil and her friends. Coastview is in danger again but the divided group are unsure how they can stop it.
Sybil and Eli aren't getting any time to be alone with this new crisis looming and there are other things on her mind too. Marlo has discovered that her trauma has given her an unusual gift which could be crucial in the coming battles if she can learn how to use it properly. Eli is still trying to learn to control his lightning ability and Vago is meeting with the members of his new Pack but can't seem to get motivated to look for the Holy Rock, despite Esther and Sybil both telling him how important it is. Aunt Ruthie is working at a historical manor that is hosting a women only event for the Professor, and a few new allies start to appear from within the town itself. I really like the mix of characters and the way the plot is presented as more important than the teen romance going on in the background.
I'm not a big reader of YA now but I really like this series. I liked that there is a blind MC who is still trying to adjust to her day to day issues, while dealing with the supernatural things affecting her town. I liked that her guide dog Vago is actually a dog shifter though I sometimes do prefer him in his dog form! Marlo and Eli are interesting characters who have developed their own special abilities and are still struggling to learn how best to use them to help Sybil. Aunt Ruthie is also in for a shock when she finds the human form of Vago in his room instead of his dog self!
I've very much enjoyed the first two books in this series and I look forward to reading more about Sybil and the gang in the future.

Great series
I'm sorry. Aunt Ruthie is on my last nerve--a sillier woman was never painted. I would love if she would get out of her little lavender cloud and help instead of being a loving obstruction. Otherwise this is a great series. I suppose the fact that Ruthie can get on my nerves speaks to the skill of the writer; her characters live and breathe, and I love the premise. Looking forward to the next installment.

Wow! What can be said? Reading is believing. Good will always triumph over evil. Just have to Believe. The author takes you there and back and there and back. Finished the book holding my breathe. Now I can breathe. Breathe and believe.

Very entertaining
A very easy book to read. I enjoyed the storyline. The book I believe is perfect for teenage readers. Can noir wait for the next one. Its nice to read something I don't need to strain to understand once in awhile

Life's getting back to normal in Coastview and people are getting on with their lives until Sybil has another vision.
I liked this book better than the first. I found the characters are stronger and more assured of themselves.
I just really enjoyed this book.

I absolutely loved Beyond Sight! If you enjoyed Hidden Sight, you will adore Beyond Sight because we get to experience a whole new element--college life! Simone also continues character development and introduces some amazing new characters (my favorite being Stanley Chambers and the villains are the awesome kind you just love to hate).
It was so much fun reading each of their experiences in college, especially Vago's. I was so glad to see more of Marlo in the story as well. I also loved how realistic Sibyl and Eli are as a couple, and I can't wait to see these characters continue to grow.
Here are my favorite quotes:
"I wanted to go inside...up to his bedroom. I wanted to experience all of Eli Townsend. But...we had a blood sacrifice to stop." -Sibyl
"Maybe 'cause it looks like it belongs to a vampire. I'm surprised there aren't pale faces of ghost children staring out from the garbled windows." -Vago
"It was glorious beyond sight." -Sibyl
I received a copy and volunteered to review it.

Back and better than ever
More supernatural baddies to get rid of and getting better at it. The characters are all progressing well individually and as a team. Secrets revealed and stronger adversaries appear. With intriguing story and action this is a solid NA read for anyone who wants a quick read to enjoy.

I really liked the 2nd installment of the Coastview Prophecies. Sibyl, Vago and Eli are a team. And they have a new member Marlo, who we met in the last book. And since her ordeal she has also unlocked abilities. And now they're heading to university, even Vago! Sibyl isn't taking classes but she is hanging around college. Where she has an awful vision of a blood sacrifice and the team has to get together, even throughout the distractions that college provides. And boy was this exciting and scary with demons and devil dogs!
We see a lot more information for this group and understanding of their abilities and what it means. I also liked Sibyl's further growth. Slowly but surely shes working on reclaiming her life. She's courageous but she has to take that courage to her own personal life. I can't wait for more of this series!
